    Welcome

     

    Sealing the ports will change the tune of the speaker, it's designed to move air from the woofer through the port. Damage it, I don't know?

     

    What about a stand/shelf built on the wall, high enough where they can not reach it until they get old enough to know better. ?

     

    Just another idea

     

    Thanks for the reply.
    Yeah I could go for a shelf, but how much distance behind the speaker should I have?

    Looks like I can get about 10cm of air between the wall and the rear port if I use the wall-mounts I have, is that horrible?

    I have these btw; https://www.btechavmounts.com/product-range/products/bt77

    Sealing rear ports of rp-160m

    Hello good sirs and sirettes!

    I'm building my small HT in the basement, with built in rear, surround and atmos speakers which are already placed and installed.

     

    My question is, I have a pair of rp-160m and a 440c as the front-stage, can\should I seal the ports of the 160m's?
    I'm thinking of wall-mounting them with a clamper-mount (due to having two kids with busy fingers, so I'm afraid of getting stands.)

     

    Or would they perform just as good without sealing the ports while being mounted to the wall?

     

    Cheers!
